Hugo has a Migrate to Hugo guide, which points to drupal2hugo
. That project looks very old though, and still mentions 'CCK' heh.
Found a couple other projects too:
Following up on that 2nd option—maybe I could use Views to export data to some common format, then convert from that format back to Hugo.
Exporting content isn’t the hard part, comments are hard, right ?
@kdpuvvadi yes; especially considering threading :O
What's the plan for the hosting, running on same host as the drupal currently running or server less
such as vercel
, cloudflare pages
and etc?,
redirects are handled bit differently on each providers.
Cloudflare and netlify follow ipfs standard _redirects
file with source destination code
doc. But on vercel, it's with their config file vercel.json
doc but hit or miss with _redirects
.
@kdpuvvadi definitely my own server—for now DigitalOcean, but eventually possibly self-hosted with an offsite hot replica.
It looks like Meshtastic's blog is using giscus.
Regarding a comment migration, two options I have are:
How about using Tome? https://www.drupal.org/project/tome
@bmartinez287 - That would require I still run Drupal somewhere; unfortunately, for hands-off operation, that would require probably a bit more effort than a full migration off Drupal.
Drupal 11 is here. I'm on Drupal 10, and it is (I believe) the current LTS release of Drupal, supported until June 2026.
I may upgrade to Drupal 11, but I've lost some of the enthusiasm for managing a (relatively) simple blog with something as heavyweight as Drupal.
Drupal requires a database, PHP, and a web frontend, and to survive relatively common DDOS attacks, I've had to put most things behind CloudFlare. Even with that, the backend still gets frequent 'probing' attacks that can cause instability, and I don't want to upgrade to some massive backend webservers to make that not happen.
I would be happier maintaining the blog as full-markdown, using Hugo, along with maybe giscus. I would need to have a migration path from Drupal to Hugo, accounting also for the thousands of redirects I have (this site has gone through a looong history, starting in my early college days, also housing some other content I originally built starting in 8th grade, lol).
And I don't want to lose any comments, as they are extremely helpful and add a ton to the website.
